BYU Outscores SUU 29-0 in Two Games

CEDAR CITY -- Playing a doubleheader at Southern Utah, BYU smothered the Thunderbirds, 9-0 and 20-0 on Tuesday.

Game 1

Paige Affleck threw four innings, giving up no runs, no hits and just one walk while striking out four before Hannah Howell came on for one inning of relief, posting one more inning of straight zeros.

"Our pitching threw the ball well today," said BYU head coach Gordon Eakin. "They had good control and good command of their pitches. I'm just hoping that continues through the weekend."

BYU blew open the game in the fourth inning, scoring six runs after the Thunderbirds managed to coax the first two outs of the inning. Kristin Delahoussaye and JC Clayton hit back-to-back singles, then were sent home on a double by Angeline Quiocho.

Andrea Ramirez followed with a solo home run and Jessica Fitu added another homer two batters later.

Fitu went 3-for-3 day from the plate with two RBI and two runs. Ramirez went 2-for-4 with three RBI and one run.

Game 2

BYU had three innings of five or more runs as the Cougars posted their highest run total since April 2008 when BYU scored 22 runs against Utah Valley.

Quiocho hit two home runs and notched a career-high six RBI with three runs on the game.

"We just kept getting the hitters in front of her and she did a nice job of driving them in," Eakin said of Quiocho.

Delahoussaye, the reigning Mountain West Conference Player of the Week, hit her fourth home run of the season, going 3-for-4 with three RBI and three runs.

Christie Zinanti earned the win pitching through four innings until Howell came on in relief to again combine for a BYU shutout.

"I just want them to compete and play hard every pitch," Eakin said. "We'll let the results take care of themselves. I'm confident if we play hard every pitch the way we're capable of we'll get a favorable outcome."

BYU next plays on Thursday at 7 p.m. MDT against San Diego State, currently right behind the Cougars in second place in the MWC standings.
